Iowa woman charged with voting twice for Trump pleads guilty [View all]
Terri Rote
DES MOINES (AP) — An Iowa woman charged with voting twice for Donald Trump last fall pleaded guilty to election misconduct and is scheduled to be sentenced next month.
In exchange for Terri Lynn Rote’s guilty plea to the felony charge, prosecutors agreed to drop a perjury charge, court records show. Judge Michael Huppert accepted her plea on June 27 and set sentencing for Aug. 15.
Rote is a registered Republican and a Trump supporter. She was arrested on Oct. 21 after she showed up at a Polk County election satellite office and tried to cast a second ballot for the November election.
She told police that she believed Trump’s claims that the election was rigged and thought that her first ballot would be changed to a vote for Hillary Clinton. Trump easily beat Clinton in Iowa to win the state’s six electoral votes in the Nov. 8 election.
